Union City Borough Council voted Aug. 13 to hire Kenneth Fye from the certified civil service list as a part-time police officer. Councilor Joyce moved the motion, Councilor Osborn seconded, and the vote carried unanimously.
Mayor Robert Wolf stressed the importance of maintaining a local police department and recommended adding part-time capacity. Borough Manager Cindy Wells said the budget had allowed at least $33,560 for wages and benefits and that hiring part-time would reduce overall cost compared with a full-time hire.
